  • Description: While the various stages along the textile production chain all contribute to final performance and character, it is the fibre choice and selection of the applicable raw material that are essential ingredients in enabling the wearer to experience difference in the product. This chapter will examine the role played by appropriate fibre choice, both traditional and innovative, and the options available for the creation of sports apparel applicable for an older demographic. Paramount issues of sustainability are included, with considerations of innovative developments in intelligent, adaptive and interactive materials as part of the creation of functional active sports clothing.
